The Palestinian resistance has launched a new batch of missiles towards Israeli settlements amid rise in its retaliatory action against the Israeli ongoing aggression on al-Aqsa mosque and the Gaza Strip.

Palestinian sources said the Iron Dome failed to intercept most of the retaliatory rockets, and has caused a state of fear among illegal Israeli settlers. 

The Israeli army radio said that in the "last burst", at 6:40 am on Friday, 27 rockets were launched from the Gaza Strip; noting that the Israeli army has not responded so far.

The Israeli media revealed that a house in the Sderot illegal Israeli settlement was hit directly, injuring a settler.

Warning sirens sounded again in the illegal settlements of Sderot and Efim in the Gaza Strip following the retaliatory attacks.

Israeli media reported that flights have shifted from Ben Gurion Airport to northern routes after the escalation.

The firing of retaliatory rockets from the direction of the coastal strip came in response to Israeli attacks on Palestinian worshipers inside the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in the occupied city of al-Quds, where hundreds of worshipers were violently evicted from the site and some 350 others arrested.

Israeli settlements in the so-called “Gaza cover” has been witnessing heightened tensions since Thursday.

Israeli settlers were asked by their regime to stay close to shelters amid a state of panic, where according to Israeli sources, most public shelters were opened on Thursday in the majority of settlements in the south and north of the occupied Palestine.

Israeli minister of military affairs Yoav Gallant said following a security meeting that the regime is ready on all fronts.

“All institutions are ready to face different options on all fronts, we know how to react to any threat,” Gallant said.
